Big feelings can be confusing, especially when children are not sure what to do with them.
Inside every child lives a Heart that feels deeply and a Brain that thinks carefully. Sometimes they disagree, and when they do, everything can feel loud, heavy, or overwhelming.
In When My Heart Talked and My Brain Listened, a young girl discovers what happens when she slows down and listens to both. Through gentle, relatable moments at school and in everyday life, children learn to notice their feelings, name them, and make thoughtful choices with confidence.
This warm and reassuring picture book shows children that emotions are not problems to fix, but messages to listen to. By learning to balance feelings and thinking, children develop emotional awareness, self-regulation, and decision-making skills in a calm, supportive way.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and therapeutic settings, this story supports social-emotional learning while remaining simple, comforting, and easy for children to understand.
Ideal for ages 6-9.
